Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope you all are enjoying a wonderful Labor Day weekend! As we dive into the school year, I want to share some important updates regarding our educational initiatives, specifically the Exact Path adaptive software and our commitment to standards-based learning.
This year, we are excited to introduce Exact Path, a personalized learning platform that tailors educational content to meet the individual needs of each student. This tool will help us identify strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring every child receives the support they need to succeed. Scholars should work to spend 40 minutes per week per subject (Reading, ELA, Math) on Exact Path. Opportunities will be given during the school day to meet this goal. Please assist your child at home if any learning time needs to be completed.
In addition, we are focusing on standards-based learning. This approach allows us to align our teaching with clear educational goals, providing a structured framework for assessing student progress. By doing so, we aim to enhance the learning experience and ensure that all students are on track to meet important milestones.
We believe that with these tools, we can create a more engaging and effective learning environment for your children. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we strive to provide the best education possible.
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
Principal
